[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 452792, member: 1607"] Do you know the spec of the existing lamps re' the Lumen's and Kelvin? i.e. the light output and the colour intensity? Remember the Watts is just the power consumed. If you are looking at replacements do a direct comparison with the actual light levels not power consumption. I am not convinced that all LED manufactures quote accurate comparisons when they just refer to the Watts. and just saying 'warm' or 'cool' is a bit vague IMHO. If you don't have any accurate specifications for your existing lamps, but you have access to a light meter, it could be worth measuring the light levels under a sample of your lights and noting the height of the light fittings. Then working backward through a few light calculations we could recommend a minimum spec of light you need to be looking at. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
